Florida Erosion and Sediment Control Inspector's Manual <br /> Phase <br /> Thisis the first construction related activity to occur on any site . Installation of initial <br /> controls shall be discussed at the pre-construction conference . The contractor and <br /> the inspector should. understand the inspection and maintenance requirements of <br /> the specified BMPs , as well as the location and proper installation procedures . <br /> Offsite runoff should be diverted around. the project if stabilized areas , adequate <br /> conveyance, andlor protected inlets are available. Sediment traps and basins <br /> should be built to receive the anticipated runoff and sediments. A temporary <br /> sediment basin in the location of the permanent stormwater facility makes efficient <br /> use of space and simplifies future tasks . Perimeter controls and diversions must <br /> be installed to keep.-sediments onsite and directed to the traps and. basins ... As <br /> clearing and grading progresses , temporary seeding and mulching should follow <br /> immediately for areas which will not be worked for a period of. seven days or more : <br /> Phase <br /> This phase is the interim phase of the project. The permanent stormwater <br /> management system is constructed in conjunction with the other ' construction <br /> activities. Before runoff is directed into it, the system must be properly stabilized . <br /> Additionally it must be protected from sedimentation until completion of the project. <br /> As the stormwater facilities are constructed , they should also be kept free of <br /> sediments. Special care must betaken -if stormwateeponds are used astemporary . <br /> sediment basins to ensure complete removal - of accumulated sediments which <br /> would 'reduce stormwater storage volume and cause premature clogging. If . <br /> possible , design and excavate the sediment basin bottom 6" to 12" (15 - 30 cm) <br /> higher thanthe eventual pond bottom . Land disturbance should occur only in <br /> areas : which are being actively worked_ .Graded. areas should be seeded and <br /> mulched immediately if they will not be worked for a period of seven days or more. <br /> A regular maintenance program should insure inspection and maintenance of <br /> BMPs by the contractor weekly andlor after significant rain, events . Any failures <br /> should be analyzed to prevent recurrence. Substantial changes to the approved <br /> plan must, be . made or reviewed by the designer and approved by the appropriate - . <br /> regulatory agency. <br /> Phase III <br /> This is the. completed. project. The entire stormwater management system should <br /> be built according to the- approved plans. Substantial deviations from the plan may <br /> require revisions by the design professional, reapproval by the regulatory agency, <br /> and/br . reconstruction by the contractor. The system must, also function as <br /> designed and in compliance with applicable regulatory criteria. Any previously <br /> unforeseen activities which could compromise the function or maintainability of the <br /> system should be addressed immediately. <br /> 42 <br />
